Survived By - an Roguelite Permadeath Retro MMO

Digital Extremes and Human Head Studios have revealed a cooperative project called Survived By. The description is a mouthful, so here goes: "Survived By is a new retro-style Free-to-Play MMO in which up to 100 players fight side-by-side in a bullet hell-style battle where permadeath is just the beginning. Players dodge bullets, slaughter hordes of Chimera and level up by crafting the best gear and weapons."

• Permadeath Is Just The Beginning: Unlike traditional roguelikes, players regenerate health, survive longer, and don't need to dodge everything to stay alive. But every time a player dies, they lose almosteverything. They're survived by a new descendant who carries a small part of their legacy with them.
• Bullet Hell Ballistics: Players craft and wield increasing deadly weapons that can provide tactical options tailored to the character class they select. They'll arm themselves with a combination of magic, steel, and special abilities to fend off enemies while artfully skirting their damaging spray.
• Gorgeous Pixel-Art World: Team up with friends and others to explore a huge beautifully rendered pixel-art world. Gear up and journey together with friends to crush enemies, raid dungeons, and trade items in a vast, diverse landscape with many in-game achievements and challenges, and hundreds of hours of gameplay.
• Craft Weapons to Slay the Hordes: Players craft and wield powerful projectile weapons as they confront an array of Beasts (hostile and aggressive creatures), Infernals (fiery forces of indiscriminate destruction), Furies (invasive nightmares that corrupt anything they touch), Spirits (natural disasters made manifest), and more on their journey.
• Fair Free-To-Play Model: Survived By is designed as a fair free-to-play game. Every item in the game can be earned for free without paying.
• Frequent Updates: Survived By is designed to be updated frequently with new content and exciting new features. The game will be built with its community's voice and desires in mind.

The game will make its debut at PAX West this weekend.
